Had a bad panic attack yesterday and probably worried some people but whatever I'm putting my needs first at this time so I can fix the issues. Weirdly find playing Overwatch is good for mindfulness because the awareness needed to do well tethers me in my body.

I feel like the overwatch community has a “lack of purpose” issue. Going to qp and practicing on a character you’re interested in should not be controversial. If you flame someone in QP because you want to win, then go to comp. Let me guess, your character ain’t meta? Cry then.

@JezCorden @reece_us I don't get how you get such lousy performance from CoD. I don't have that issue ever. CoD and Overwatch are owned by the same company. Do they use different servers or methods for online play?

It seems to go fine in gaming but in overwatch for example after about 30s my ping shoots from 80 to 200 and i start walking in place for about 3s and then it goes back down. I doubt wanna waste money on a fix that is unreasonable. Powerline ethernet, mesh, 100ft ethernet cord?

Riot going with the blizzard route of changing values to nerf kits is weirdly reminiscent of overwatch where they eventually admitted they had to actually rework kits and its not a numbers issue

@lemon_saucy @cernersandals Operation, Anti cheat, skins for the mp5, Bug fixes, a good cobble remake, Mirage remake, daily/weekly challenges so there is a reason to play, fix mm, new cases, fix ui bugs, an actual "new" hud, remove overwatch, 128 tick, new maps (good ones), old good maps that were removed.

Wonder how many game franchises Activision are gonna run into the dirt because they think sequels are more profitable than live-service games. Basically what I'm saying is Overwatch 2 should never have existed.

@AssholeRay27 @JKDodgers @Moondoggie2020 Also-my kids find old video games extremely hard to play. It’s actually really funny. Fortnite, Overwatch-no problems. Super Mario? Impossible.

@GaySenjougahara These operations are just you doing missions in mm or fight bots They added 1 custom map for a mission in the last one lol And you pay 15 dollers for each pass xd If they wanna impress me with a „major update“ than they should import CS into source 2 or finally fix overwatch

@BlizzardCSEU_EN I am having issues staying connected to Overwatch servers. I keep getting LC-202 error but my internet works fine for anything other than OW. Is there a reason for this? Playing on Xbox

-@riotgames, take a lesson from Overwatch. Releasing an entire-*** character to counter a very major balancing issue in your game is terrible game design. Brigitte was Bl*zzard's answer to ramptant mobility, and she ended up destroying the game for e v e r y b o d y.

@ElTrapoJr86 @theog_Pepper @PlayApex and as for legends.power creep is the problem. its what killed overwatch and its slowly creeping up on apex. the more legends they add the stronger they try to make them. including ridiculously broken ones like seer wallhacks. and then rework the weaker ones but they end up (1/2)

@YX_Fallen_Angel @ian_the_zombie @OWAnonymous_ having good aim and positiong is easily the hardest skill in overwatch. winston you only need positioning. hitscan are broken… not easy… unless your just spamming dynamite on ashe then yeah hitscan takes more skill then winston. at least have a reason w a hot take like that

@GenePark I had strong hopes with the Crash, Spyro and THPS revivals that they might go back to making things I like, so of course those teams all got pushed to making add-ons for COD and Overwatch

I've uninstaller and reinstalled overwatch and batnet, I've restarted my modem, updated my drivers, restarted my pc and even ******* updated my wifi router firmware and I still get the network initialisation failed error. Do I have to sacrifice a damn firstborn? @PlayOverwatch
